Great info for your not-so up on politics neighbor
Linked to groups: Lower Merion Grassroots
While we politically addicted types that have us joining groups like DFA tend to be fairly well informed, many of our friends and family members may not be quite so up-to-date on the relative merits of the current crop of candidates.To help you help them, there's a great resource (IMHO of course!) with voter guides, interviews and articles in the Philadelphia Jewish Voice at www.pjvoice.com/v17/17100dossier...
As you, along with everyone else gets inundated with e-mails, robo-calls - have you noticed that they're all GOP funded hit jobs? - mail, radio and TV ads, remember that it is still 1-on-1, face-to-face interactions that have the greatest impact, like when you let your neighbor know that the real reason for the GOP attack robo-calls and ads is to get them so fed up that they stay home on Election Day and the absolute best way to thumb their nose at the GOP's negativity is to go and vote Democratic up and down the line.
Making time to canvass, to engage your cashier at the supermarket, to ask co-workers you know have a progressive outlook if they're going to vote, to remind your friends and neighbors to get to the polls is even more important than phone banking (which is still important!) and more important than sending yet another $50 to the campaign of your choice, though if you've got it, send it!
Eleven - yes, that's 11 days left until Election Day!
